Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Pro 8 PoE — Professional PoE switch for SMB networks

The Ubiquiti Pro 8 PoE (USW-Pro-8-PoE) is a professional Layer 3 switch with 8 Gigabit PoE ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks, built for small enterprise networks that require local routing, PoE++ power delivery for high-draw devices, and 10G backbone connectivity. It is the right choice for installations where a standard Layer 2 switch no longer meets the requirements for inter-VLAN routing, PoE budget, or aggregate throughput.

The 120W PoE budget — with six PoE+ ports at 32W and two PoE++ ports at 64W each — supports simultaneous operation of 4K PTZ cameras, interactive displays, WiFi 7 access points, and other high-consumption devices without external power injectors. The 56 Gbps switching capacity and 28 Gbps non-blocking throughput eliminate bottlenecks even in AV or surveillance-heavy traffic scenarios. The 10G SFP+ uplinks connect to the backbone at matching speeds without capping the aggregated performance of access ports.

Layer 3 capabilities — inter-VLAN routing, static routing, DHCP server and relay with 512 IPv4 routes and 6,000 ARP entries — allow Pro 8 PoE to serve as a local routing node in branch offices and distributed installations without a dedicated router for internal traffic. The 1.3" touchscreen display provides direct on-device access to port and system status. Flexible mounting options — desktop, wall, or rack from 400 to 1200 mm — and a universal internal 100–240V AC power supply simplify integration into any physical environment.

Recommended for small enterprise networks with VLAN segmentation and local routing requirements, AV and broadcast installations with PTZ cameras or PoE++ displays, deployments with WiFi 7 access points and high-power IP cameras, branch offices requiring an autonomous DHCP server and inter-VLAN routing, and any professional infrastructure where a compact Layer 3 switch with PoE++, 10G uplinks, and UniFi management needs to replace a separate switch and router combination.
